The Eden Project in Cornwall, England, is an environmental complex designed to educate the public about the importance of plant life to our planet. It is built in a disused clay pit and is home to the world's biggest greenhouse.
The Humid Tropics Biome covers 1.6 hectares and houses tropical plants, a working stream and an impressive waterfall.
The Warm Temperate Biome is considerably smaller (0.7 hectares) and houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines.
The Outdoor Biome represents the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops and hemp.
These photographs were taken on February 27, 2008 using a Panasonic DMC-TZ3 digital camera.

This was my first view of the biomes, which are nestled in a huge hollow created by a disused clay pit. It is only when you've bought your entrance ticket and walked through a building out onto a big viewing platform that the whole site is revealed before your eyes. The "wow factor" is just phenomenal.
